title: [Peri-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty erythrocyte immune function analysis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of ECR I, RBC-C3bRR, RBC-ICR on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-four inpatients with OSAHS and 20 healthy controls at the same age were enrolled. 1 ml fresh whole blood with stomach empty in early morning were collected before and after the surgery to detect ECR I , RBC-C3bRR and RBC-ICR.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The erythrocyte immune function of the OSAHS group was lower than that of the control group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Erythrocyte immune functional disorder plays an important role in OSAHS and surgical procedures is effective in correcting the changes.
